“In a world where opportunities for girls are often restricted, Women Deliver is stepping up to support the next generation of adolescent girl advocates through its recently launched Emerging Leaders for Change Program. Recognizing adolescence as a pivotal period where girls’ opportunities are frequently limited, the Emerging Leaders Program will sharpen our focus on improving the bodily autonomy of adolescent girls.
During adolescence, girls’ choices and life paths can be significantly constrained by external forces. Many find their futures shaped by events they have little control over. However, with the right tools and support given at different life stages, girls can lead the charge in driving positive change for themselves and their communities.
Like many adolescent girls and young women around the world, I struggled to have open conversations with my peers on some of my experiences when it came to reproductive health.”
Christabel Netondo, East Africa Regional Advisor at Women Deliver shares more about Women Deliver’s Emerging Leaders for Change Program and why it matters.
